My goal: I am trying to backup my copy-protected personal VHS tape collection to DVD-R with absolute minimum possible loss of quality.

I just backed up two VHS tapes to DVD-R using a ~$100 DiMax unit I bought online awhile back. The unit successfully removed the Macrovision, but seriously degraded the image resolution. The result looks kind of like a bad EP recording.
This is unacceptable to me.
After reading this thread, I'm wondering if a TBC might be a better choice, but now read this last paragraph where you mention TBCs can get this same complaint. Before I lay down $225 or so an AVT-8710, which sounds good, I thought I'd ask if you still think this is the best value TBC for the money. Also, I'm not familiar with the term "proc amp" but since you don't like the one on the AVT-8710, is there something else you would recommend instead?
